BRISBANE, Australia—As a prop coffin made its way through the cheering crowd, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson vowed never to back down even if newly passed hate speech laws were used against conservative opposition like her.

The empty coffin, supposed to represent the death of “foreign lobbying,” was carried towards the stage at Brisbane’s “Australia Marches” rally, one of several events—the others hosted by the March for Australia—across the nation’s cities on Australia Day.
